Re: Plz help
It's my understanding that dimensionally the springs are the same, as the basic suspension geometry is the same between the Camaro and Firebird. The springs will fit fine, no stress.

The Firebird and Camaro are the in fact same car, with minor differences in sheet metal wrinkles and sticker packages. Identical in every way as far as construction.
The springs do not care what version of those things are around them.

Re: Plz help
I've heard its possible to change them without a spring compressor, but I'd use a spring compressor myself. There's plenty of info on ways to change them if you do some looking.
